HAWKS POSTCAST: Atlanta Hawks Rewarded With A Playoff Berth En Route To Cleveland Cavaliers Drubbing

The Atlanta Hawks have officially clinched into the 2026 NBA Playoffs with a lopsided win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday evening at State Farm Arena. 

For the 50th time in franchise history, ATL is postseason bound and added a Southeast Division championship in the process. In its overachieving season, Atlanta will conclude its regular season on Sunday versus the Miami Heat and will be a confident bunch with an impressive win over CLE led by Dyson Daniels' double-double. 

Zaccharie Risacher and Tony Bradley were active and made the most of their minutes, ultimately providing some much-needed assistance to a thin backcourt. 

DeShaun Tate addresses some of the strengths, weaknesses, concerns and advantages for Atlanta entering season's end.
